44. The first reunion dinner

Putting Liang Zijun's changed clothes into the basin, Chen Qing planned to go to the river to do laundry, where there was living water, and it was more convenient to rinse. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he met Brother Yang who was diagonally facing the door.

"Chen Qing, are you going to the river to wash clothes? Wait for me for a while, I'll be with you" Brother Yang didn't wait for Chen Qing to speak, he quickly went back to the yard and came out with a basin of clothes.

"You haven't washed the clothes you've saved for a few days?" Chen Qing was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the pile of spiky dirty clothes, if the clothes in this summer were not washed in time, they would smell the next day.

"Hehe~ I've been very tired in the past two days, Zixian got up early to collect rent, don't I have to get up early? This time, it's almost afternoon as soon as I go to sleep, isn't this saving so much~" Brother Yang blushed a little embarrassed, no matter what he said, he was an elder, and he was really a little embarrassed in front of his brother and daughter-in-law.

"This family's clothes will save a lot for a day, I'll help you wash them in a while" Chen Qing grabbed most of the clothes in Brother Yang's basin and stuffed them into his own wooden basin, he really didn't take such a little work seriously.

"No, what's so embarrassing about this? Actually, I don't usually have any work, just I wash the clothes, and the meals are all made by my mother, if people know that I even ask you to help wash the clothes, then it's really shameless" Brother Yang stepped forward to snatch it, Chen Qing was tall, lifted the wooden basin, raised his arms, and let Brother Yang snatch his feet and snatch his arms at will and dodged over.

"I don't say who will know? Besides, if I wash it first, don't I have to wait for you to come back together?" Chen Qing grinned and teased Brother Yang, in his eyes, this Brother Yang was a child who had not grown up, he was half a head shorter than himself, and he really couldn't be regarded as a sister-in-law.

Brother Yang couldn't grab it, so in the end he had to go to the river together.

"This mountain spring water is flowing down from the back mountain, our village is considered upstream, and the downstream is unlucky, catch up with the laundry and vegetables, if the upstream happens to brush a night pot, you will be disgusted to death!" Brother Yang looked disgusted.

"Don't say it, I don't know if it's disgusting to hear you say, it seems that it's better to wash this dish with the well water at home" Chen Qing looked entangled, fortunately, the Liang family was in the upper reaches of the stream, otherwise he would even want to take his clothes home to wash.

"Haha...... Look at you like that, who doesn't live like this, it's unlucky for you to catch up, and besides, this stream keeps flowing, even if there is a dirty thing, Shabu will go out" Brother Yang smiled and showed a mouthful of small white teeth, and laughed at Chen Qing heartlessly.

The two walked for a quarter of an hour to the stream, Chen Qing found a place with shade, carried water and laundry, and Brother Yang also sat on the stone like a little daughter-in-law and rubbed his collar with soap powder.

"Aren't you tired of squatting, it's more labor-saving to move a stone and do laundry" Brother Yang stopped, looking at Chen Qing half-squatting on the ground and scrubbing laboriously.

Chen Qing's ears were a little red, and he coughed awkwardly, and it took a long time to hold back the sentence "No, it'll be washed in a while"

Brother Yang looked carefully at his calf that was slightly swinging, and his heart was relieved, so he ran to the haystack to find it, took the hay and braided a futon casually, threw it on the stone and said, "Sit down, so it won't hurt!"

Chen Qing even had a slight layer of red on his cheeks, sat down carefully with his buttocks crossed, and didn't dare to sit down, and his calves struggled to wash his clothes.

"What's so embarrassing? Who didn't hit this, this little brother's body is not better than a woman, just use it more...... The more you use it, the softer it gets, you know?" At the end of his words, Brother Yang blushed and leaned on Chen Qing's ears and chuckled and joked.

"What nonsense is that!" Chen Qing dropped his clothes, pushed Brother Yang's little face away with a slap, and screamed strangely while covering his red ears that could drip blood.

Brother Yang wiped the foam off his face, leaned back and smiled with a smile, and laughed at him, "You really don't know~ haha...... Laughing at me."

"You lied to me!" Chen Qing glared at him with puffed eyes.

"Why am I lying to you? You have been raised as a master since you were a child, and no one has told you this, so you don't know anything...... In fact, if you don't talk about these things, you will be able to realize it slowly in the future, anyway, it is not a bad thing, if it is not soft enough, it will be difficult to have children in the future!" Li Pingyang frowned again when he talked about the child.

There are many brothers who are in good health, and they have children in the first year of marriage, and their bodies are not well adjusted, and more than half of them have dystocia. Even if you barely give birth to a child, your body will suffer a big loss, and the laceration is not easy to heal and will affect the next birth.

Zixian said at the beginning that he didn't want him to have a child, but a few years have passed, and his stomach still hasn't moved.

Chen Qing saw that he was silent, and he didn't speak again, he didn't want to have a child, as for whether it was soft or not, he couldn't feel it anyway, and it wasn't in the way. Regarding the body structure of the little brother, Chen Qing's understanding is only that there is an extra organ in the body that conceives a child, and there is no difference between the appearance and the grandfather.

After washing the clothes, Chen Qing went down to the river and caught two fish with his bare hands, passed a straw rope through the gills, handed one to Brother Yang, and kept it for dinner.

"I heard Zixian say that the third uncle and third aunt plan to go to Beijing for the New Year after the autumn harvest, so as to find a family affair for Meng Yuan. I don't want this fish, you send it to Ziping's house in a while, although you don't have to serve your in-laws closely, but this heart has to be delivered, and it is better to take care of it before you go out, so as not to get the two of them when they leave, Zijun bullies you and there is no one to call the shots for you" Brother Yang pushed the fish back.

"No, you take it, I don't like to eat fish very much on weekdays, just send this one" Chen Qing shook his head, he really didn't think about it so much, he got married for so many days, the number of times he saw his in-laws could be counted with one hand, and his substitute daughter-in-law not only had to serve her husband, but also had the obligation to be filial to her in-laws.

"It's good that you know, then you're welcome" Brother Yang smiled and carried the fish and walked back with a large basin of wet clothes.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Chen Qing looked at the vegetable field, "This vegetable garden should be cleaned up, who is responsible for this work?"

Brother Yang glanced back at the vegetable garden, shook the wooden basin with difficulty, simply put it on the ground to rest for a while, shook his sore arm and said, "No one collects it, and what can't be eaten will rot in the ground as fertilizer, and I will buy rapeseed in the spring next year, and I don't have much money anyway."

"What a waste! So many vegetables are harvested and dried and dried vegetables are enough for a family to eat for a winter, so who is responsible for planting them?" Chen Qing's eyes widened, and he couldn't stand it, wouldn't people with this kind of vegetables feel distressed? It doesn't take much effort to collect vegetables, and the vegetables on half an acre of land can be put together in one day.

"In the winter, Zixian buys fresh vegetables from the south, and if you want to eat dried vegetables, you can buy some of them. There is very little time for the family to eat dried vegetables in winter, and no one bothers to collect these vegetables, Li San and Wei Liang only plant vegetable plots in the spring, and they are busy collecting rent at this time, and when they are not working, the vegetables are rotten to the ground."

Brother Yang looked reasonable, at first he also felt that it was a waste to do this, but he found that there was no shortage of fresh food at home in winter, so he didn't care about those dried vegetables that were not very delicious. And he doesn't know how to dry, he works hard just to eat a few meals in the spring, and he really doesn't bother to get it, and he just spends money to buy some if he wants to eat.

Chen Qing gasped, seeing that it was still early, without saying a word, he picked up the wooden basin and went home, carried the bamboo basket and tools, and returned to the vegetable field to collect vegetables.

Brother Yang came over from time to time, and saw Chen Qing busy carrying the vegetables in the vegetable field.

"What are you doing here? The fish hasn't been delivered yet?" Brother Yang looked at the grass carp in the basin and called, if you don't clean it up, the fish won't be fresh.

"You help me send it over, I'm busy, there aren't many dishes, and the sun-dried family will save a little money in the winter to buy it" Chen Qing was busy stacking the cabbage, in fact, the cabbage was more delicious when it was frosted, and the cabbage would taste faintly sweet at that time, but Chen Qing was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it, so he had to collect it in advance and pile it in the shade.

The potatoes are put into the cellar, and some of the radishes, celery, etc. are left to eat, and the rest are prepared to be made into dried vegetables. Chen Qing was in full swing, and after Brother Yang sent the fish, he also helped to boil water and scald vegetables, shredded, sliced and cut strips, pickled what should be pickled, and dried what should be dried.

In the end, Brother Yang even borrowed dustpans from other yards and dried the dried vegetables all over the well.

When Liang Zijun came home, he saw that the patio was full of shredded beans, dried radish, cucumber slices, dried sweet potatoes, shredded peppers, eggplant slices, dried potatoes, snow mushrooms, etc.

Liang Zijun walked along a reserved path to Chen Qing's back, and slapped it vigorously, he knew that it must have been this guy who refused to stop, "Why are you drying these things?

Chen Qing squatted on the ground and held his waist by this palm and snorted, his waist was already sore, and he had worked for another day, how could he still eat? He turned around and bit his lip and glared at Liang Zijun fiercely, before he got up and put away the dustpan one by one. When the sun sets, these have to be put away, and when the sun comes out tomorrow, they will be taken out to dry.

Liang Zijun stroked his palms and grinned silently, it seems that he is not the only one who is in pain, looking at Chen Qing's awkward posture, and his calves that tremble slightly when he squats down, it is funny.

Hmph~ This didn't make people lie in bed honestly for a day, so they had to toss these broken foods.

Brother Yang was already tired and went back to the house to rest, Shao Fengzhi estimated the time, saw Liang Zijun coming back and hurriedly beckoned him to come into the courtyard to eat, and said to Chen Qing, "Don't fire in your courtyard, just collect the dried vegetables and eat in this courtyard."

Chen Qing raised his head and looked at Liang Zijun fixedly, and saw that he raised his eyebrows and nodded before agreeing.

Liang Zijun pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled like a fox stealing a chicken, that is called a treacherous. Shao Fengzhi patted his chest and secretly damaged, "Why are you laughing so badly!"

"Hehe~ That's your brother's powerful methods, didn't you see that Chen Qing was particularly obedient today? You all know that you want to ask me!" Liang Zijun shook his head and strode into the courtyard, not forgetting to ask his father and mother for credit.

Shao Fengzhi patted the dust on the hem of his skirt and smiled helplessly. went into the kitchen and brought the food to the hall, and after it was arranged, Liang Ziping also came back, the family was lively and chatting while eating, Chen Qing sat next to Liang Zijun and ate the dishes in front of him.

Chen Qing originally thought that the Liang family was also like a big family, and the men and women did not sit at the same table during the family banquet, and they did not say anything when they ate or slept without speaking. At least he didn't see him say a word when he was eating with Liang Zijun. I don't seem to have spoken anything other than running errands in bed...... Uh~ Don't mention it.

Who would have thought that as soon as he wanted to retreat to the kitchen, he was pulled by Shao Fengzhi to sit next to Liang Zijun, and the family chatted at the dinner table while eating, and Liang Zijun also teased Liang Duoduo from time to time. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he was happy and happy, which was completely different from the expression he usually sarcastically satirized, which made Chen Qing feel more restrained, as if he was just a stranger who had entered the chaos and was so discordant as he squeezed into the middle of his happy family.
